Waktu awal peluncuran Ryzen 7, gw kepikiran buat beli Ryzen 7 1800X, pas Mei 2017, gw gk jadi beli Ryzen 7 dan coba kita liat akhir tahun ini, kalau di compare mana yang bagus untuk ukuran High-End Class di kedua brand tersebut. Ya paling ada 2 kubu lagi, “Kubu Budget” sama “Kubu Branded (gk mentingin budget, core, dll)” 😀
